We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Guided Shoes
Guided Shoes
Shoes, contemptuous beasts
dissing enemies, foreign
presidents and irksome neighbors.
Shoes stinking, dirty, filthy rascals
tromping around in dog feces,
waiting for a head to bash in.
Shoes surreptitiously covering
terrorist feet, ticking time-bombs,
fanatical weapons of mass destruction
Shoes lying in ambush on nasty toes
licking arches of radical heel-chuckers,
anticipating the Evil-Doer anti-speech.
Shoes the guardians of the state,
like guided missiles, ready to launch
at a moments notice.
